Providing end of life care and patient advocacy
What is Mudança Healing?
Mudança means change or transition and healing is the processes of making someone or something sound, in this case representing a journey towards acceptance.
Change is one of the constants in life, yet some changes are harder to navigate than others. When it comes to changes regarding the end of life, the process can be overwhelming. It's often complicated with medical jargon, power differentials, family dynamics and a wide range of emotions. End of life support can help you simplify and navigate the process, as well as making sure your wishes are centered.
Could you imagine having a baby with no discussion of the birth or having a baby until you are in labor? Or starting a highly skilled job without training and an orientation? Yet that is often what we expect when someone is dying. I have experience navigating the healthcare system, can help you get oriented to the dying process, providing bedside care, and serving as a patient advocate. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you and your loved ones as you prepare for your final days in this life. My experiences allow me to support the whole family, and most specifically, you, through this end of life transition.
How can I help you plan for the best death possible in the way that embraces YOUR wishes?

End of Life transition Doula
As a trained Doula and physician, I consider it an immense honor to walk with you and your family at the end of life. My goal is to help you decipher what is important to you and help carry out those desires.
Death is a natural part of every human's journey. Since childhood, I have always been interested in helping people heal. Part of the healing process has also meant coming to terms with our mortality and embracing death. Death doesn’t have to be scary, and with the gift of time you can help yourself and family members accept the death process. I have had the privilege of accompanying people as they transition from this world - providing them comfort, sitting with the loved ones they leave behind, and helping provide emotional healing.
How can I support you at this time of great transition?
Healing is remembering them with more love than pain
